That's a good observation but falls apart if actual developers have to maintain the Rube-Goldberg app created by well-meaning "Citizen Developers" (© Acme No-Code Corp) using a framework which is only intended for prototypes but not fit for purpose beyond that. Of course, that's a management issue - but managers who are easily taken in by consultancy sweet talk about the power of these frameworks are not always the most likely to understand the problems they cause or have the wisdom or resources to clean up afterwards by doing what you suggest.
